Just hope that none of your users have a 4K monitor when using this code or they'll have a whole other problem with reading the tabs

Yep, that's why I said I'll adapt it (to use the default system font).

Any how next is a Workaround

Thank you so much, Rashad! I will adapt for my needs.

One of my users has bad vision and would like the selected PanelGadget tab to be in bold text, instead of default.

I tried this search but no matches -> search.php?keywords=panelgadget+tab+text+bold

Any ideas? Thanks.

I think Piero is competing with oryaaaaa for having the most weird posts.

hoping the development team will eventually build the corresponding API functions into the respective versions

Won't happen. It's been discussed before. It's because (1) PureBasic is cross-platform, and (2) the entire API data is over 1 GB. It says at PureBasic.com:

"Even if PureBasic supports ...

I can get the window handle using FindWindow_(), but I’m not sure how to detect when that external window is closed.

Since you've got the handle (hWnd), the IsWindow_(hWnd) command will return 0 if the window doesn't exist (like when closed).

eJan's solution tests if the window's executable is ...

The clipboard can actually hold multiple formats, and Windows chooses the best one for the current paste. It's nothing new.

I can't figure out how to make the SetGadgetText be shown before the loop begins, and before the procedure ends.

This works just fine for me (and it assumes your app doesn't need to do anything else at the time):

Procedure DoLongProcedure()
SetGadgetText(0, "Please wait...")
DisableGadget(1,1 ...

The EditorGadget uses rich text, so it will paste in the style of text it was copied (like from Word). If you don't want that, you need to paste the text from Word as plain text into the EditorGadget, so it uses your EditorGadget font instead.

Maybe use Left() on it to crop it? Should still be a unique result if not used for private or critical situations.

Yep, just pointing out that the crash is a regression bug, because it doesn't happen with 6.10.

One line is needed for the crash compiler. Declare test2(*t1.point, *t2.struct)


On PB 6.10, that one line doesn't crash the compiler but just gives this error:

Do these two topics help?

I almost didn't try this because there was no screenshot to show it off. So I tried, and was very impressed! Screenshot done for you:

You really need to create a small new app using the same window events as your main app, to see if it fails too. If it does, post that small code here. If not, then you've coded something wrong in your main app and you need to see what the difference is in your main app vs your small working test app.
